The initial annual rent for the property is subject to rental escalations of 1.5% each year through the remainder of the lease. For the purposes of presentation the individual rental escalations were not displayed in the table above.

Walgreens has the right and option, at their election, to terminate the lease effective as of the last day of the initial lease term, or effective as of the last day of any month thereafter.

 

Cole Realty Advisors has the sole and exclusive right to manage, operate, lease and supervise the overall maintenance of the properties listed above and currently receives a property management fee of up to 2.0% of the monthly gross revenues from our single-tenant properties and up to 4.0% of the monthly gross revenues from our multi-tenant properties. We currently have no plan for any renovations, improvements or development of the properties listed above and we believe the properties are adequately insured.

 

In connection with the property acquisitions noted above, we incurred the following variable rate mortgage notes:

The variable rate mortgage notes were obtained from Series B, LLC, and Series C, LLC, each an affiliate of our advisor. The variable rate mortgage notes are secured by the limited partnership interests held by Cole Op II in Cole PB Portfolio I, LP, and Cole PB Portfolio II, LP, respectively. All of the members of our board of directors, including all of our independent board members, not otherwise interested in such transaction approved the transaction as being fair, competitive and commercially reasonable and no less favorable to us than loans from unaffiliated parties under the same circumstances.

 

The variable rate mortgage notes require monthly interest-only payments with the principal balances due in March 2009, as set forth above. The mortgage notes are generally non-recourse to us and Cole OP II, but both are liable for customary non-recourse carveouts.

 

The variable rate mortgages may be prepaid at any time without premium or penalty. In the event the variable rate mortgages are not paid off on the maturity date, the variable rate mortgage notes include default provisions. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, interest on the mortgage notes will accrue at 4% above the variable interest rate and all interest and principal will become immediately due and payable.

 

For federal income tax purposes, the depreciable basis in the properties noted above is approximately $57.0 million in total. When we calculate depreciation expense for tax purposes, we will use the straight-line method. We depreciate buildings and improvements based upon estimated useful lives of 40 years, respectively. The preliminary depreciable basis in the properties noted above is estimated as follows:

The prospectus is hereby supplemented with the following “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”:

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis supplements prior discussions in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section in our prospectus and should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated audited financial statements and notes thereto. The terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” refer to Cole Credit Property Trust II, Inc.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This section contains forward-looking statements, including discussion and analysis of the financial condition of us and our subsidiaries, our anticipated capital expenditures, amounts of anticipated cash distributions to our stockholders in the future and other matters. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but are the intent, belief or current expectations of our management based on their knowledge and understanding of our business and industry. Words such as “may,” “will,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “would,” “could,” “should” and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements that were true at the time made may ultimately prove to be incorrect or false. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s view as of March 31, 2008. We undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements made in this prospectus supplement include changes in general economic conditions, changes in real estate conditions, construction costs that may exceed estimates, construction delays, increases in interest rates, lease-up risks, inability to obtain new tenants upon the expiration of existing leases, and the potential need to fund tenant improvements or other capital expenditures out of operating cash flows. The forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 and the “Risk Factors” section of the registration statement relating to this offering (SEC File No. 333-138444), each as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On a regular basis, we evaluate these estimates. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

Overview

 

We were formed on September 29, 2004 to acquire and operate commercial real estate primarily consisting of freestanding, single-tenant, retail properties net leased to investment grade and other creditworthy tenants located throughout the United States. We commenced our principal operations on September 23, 2005, when we issued the initial 486,000 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering. Prior to such date, we were considered a development stage company. We acquired our first real estate property on September 26, 2005. We have no paid employees and are externally advised and managed by Cole Advisors II, one of our affiliates. We intend to qualify, and currently qualify, as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes.

 

Our operating results and cash flows are primarily influenced by rental income from our commercial properties and interest expense on our property acquisition indebtedness. Rental income accounted for approximately 92% and approximately 94% of total revenue during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. As approximately 99% of our properties are under lease, with an average remaining lease term of approximately 14.6 years, we believe our exposure to changes in commercial rental rates on our portfolio is substantially mitigated. Our advisor regularly monitors the creditworthiness of our tenants by reviewing the tenant’s financial results, credit rating agency reports (if any) on the tenant or guarantor, the operating history of the property with such tenant, the tenant’s market share and track record within its industry segment, the general health and outlook of the tenant’s industry segment, and other information for changes and possible trends. If our advisor identifies significant changes or trends that may adversely affect the creditworthiness of a tenant, it will gather a more in-depth knowledge of the tenant’s financial condition and, if necessary, attempt to mitigate the tenant credit risk by evaluating the possible sale of the property, or identifying a possible replacement tenant should the current tenant fail to perform on the lease. As of December 31, 2007, the debt leverage ratio of our portfolio, which is the ratio of total gross real estate assets to mortgage notes payable, was approximately 52%, with approximately 11% of the debt, or approximately

 

7

 


$114.8 million, subject to variable interest rates. As of March 31, 2008, we had repaid approximately $93.5 million of the debt subject to variable interest rates. The repayments of the debt subject to variable interest rates were made with proceeds from our Follow-on Offering. As we continue to raise capital under our follow-on offering and invest the proceeds in commercial real estate, we will be subject to changes in real estate prices and changes in interest rates on new indebtedness used to acquire the properties. We may manage our risk of changes in real estate prices on future property acquisitions by entering into purchase agreements and loan commitments simultaneously so that our operating yield is determinable, by contracting with developers for future delivery of properties, or by entering into sale-leaseback transactions. We expect to manage our interest rate risk by monitoring the interest rate environment in connection with our planned property acquisitions to determine the appropriate acquisition financing, which may include fixed rate loans, variable rate loans or interest rate hedges. If we are unable to acquire suitable properties or obtain suitable financing for future acquisitions, our results of operations may be adversely affected.

 

As of December 31, 2007, we owned 250 freestanding single-tenant retail properties, 69 freestanding single-tenant commercial properties, and 14 multi-tenant retail properties, which were approximately 99% leased. Of the leases related to these properties, 13 were classified as direct financing leases, as discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, we acquired 242 and 77 properties, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we also purchased two portfolios of mortgage notes receivable for an aggregate price of approximately $87.4 million, consisting of 69 mortgage notes receivable secured by 43 restaurant properties and 26 single-tenant retail properties, each of which is subject to a net lease. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements. Our results of operations are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we expect that rental income, operating expenses, asset management fees, depreciation expense, interest expense, and net income will each increase in the future as we acquire additional properties and as our current properties are owned for an entire period.

 

The current mortgage lending and interest rate environment for real estate in general is uncertain. We may experience more stringent lending criteria, which may limit our ability to finance certain property acquisitions. Additionally, for properties in which we are able to obtain acquisition financing, the interest rates on such loans may not meet our underwriting criteria. We expect to manage the current mortgage lending environment by utilizing fixed rate loans if the terms are acceptable, utilizing short-term variable rate loans, assuming existing mortgage loans in connection with property acquisitions, entering into interest rate lock agreements, or any combination of those measures. We also may acquire a much larger percentage of our properties for cash without financing. If we are unable to obtain suitable financing for future acquisitions or we acquire a larger percentage of our properties for cash without financing, our results of operations may be adversely affected. Additionally, if we are unable to identify suitable properties at appropriate prices in the current credit environment, we may have a larger amount of uninvested cash, which may adversely affect our results of operations. We will continue to evaluate alternatives in the current market, including purchasing or originating debt backed by real estate, which could produce attractive yields in the current market environment. Our management is not aware of any material trends or uncertainties, other than national economic conditions affecting real estate generally that may reasonably be expected to have a material impact, favorable or unfavorable, on revenues or income from the acquisition and operations of real properties and mortgage loans, other than those discussed above or referred to in our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

With our objectives of providing current income to our stockholders and preserving their capital, we view our most significant challenges as:

 

 

• 

continuing to raise sufficient amounts of equity capital in order to acquire a large, diversified portfolio while maintaining a moderate leverage ratio; and

 

 

 

• 

investing net offering proceeds in properties that are accretive to our stockholders distributions at a time when the demand for high-quality, income-producing properties is high and the market competitive.

 

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our accounting policies have been established to conform with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If management’s judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, thus, resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

The critical accounting policies outlined below have been discussed with members of the audit committee of our board of directors.

Investment in Real Estate Assets

 

We are required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of our depreciable assets. We consider the period of future benefit of the asset to determine the appropriate useful life of each asset. Real estate assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Amounts capitalized to real estate assets consist of the cost of acquisition or construction and any tenant improvements or major improvements and betterments that extend the useful life of the related asset. All repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

 

  All assets are depreciated on a straight line basis. The estimated useful lives of our assets by class generally are as follows:

 

Building

 

40 years

Tenant improvements

 

Lesser of useful life or lease term

Intangible lease assets

 

Lesser of useful life or lease term

 

Impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations, which includes the operating property, when indicators of impairment are present and the assets’ carrying amount is greater than the sum of the future undiscounted cash flows, excluding interest, estimated to be generated by those assets. We have identified one property with impairment indicators for which the undiscounted future cash flows expected from the use of the property and related intangible assets and their eventual disposition was less than the carrying value of the assets. As a result, we reduced the carrying value of the real estate and related intangible assets to their estimated fair value and recorded an impairment loss of $5.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2007. No impairment losses were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Projections of expected future cash flows require us to estimate future market rental income amounts subsequent to the expiration of current lease agreements, property operating expenses, discount rates, the number of months it takes to release the property and the number of years the property is held for investment. The use of inappropriate assumptions in the future cash flow analysis would result in an incorrect assessment of the property’s future cash flow and fair value and could result in the overstatement of the carrying value of our real estate and related intangible assets and net income.

 

When a real estate asset is identified by management as held for sale, we cease depreciation of the asset and estimate the sales price, net of selling costs. If, in management’s opinion, the net sales price of the asset is less than the net book value of the asset, an adjustment to the carrying value would be recorded to reflect the estimated fair value of the property.

 

 

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

 

Upon the acquisition of real properties, we allocate the purchase price of such properties to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land and building, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases and the value of in-place leases, based in each case on their fair values. We utilize independent appraisals to assist in the determination of the fair values of the tangible assets of an acquired property (which includes land and building).

 

The fair values of above-market and below-market in-place lease values are recorded based on the present value (using an interest rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) an estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, which is generally obtained from independent appraisals, measured over a period equal to the non-cancelable term of the lease. The above-market and below-market lease values are capitalized as intangible lease assets or liabilities and amortized as an adjustment of rental income over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining terms of the respective leases.

 

The fair values of in-place leases include direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant, opportunity costs associated with lost rentals which are avoided by acquiring an in-place lease. Direct costs associated with obtaining a new tenant include commissions, tenant improvements, and other direct costs and are estimated in part by utilizing information obtained from independent appraisals and management’s consideration of current market costs to execute a similar lease. These direct costs are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are amortized to expense over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining terms of the respective leases. The value of opportunity costs is calculated using the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases over a market absorption period for a similar lease. These intangibles are included in intangible lease assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and are amortized to expense over the lesser of the useful life or the remaining term of the respective leases.

 

The determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired requires the use of significant assumptions with regard to the current market rental rates, rental growth rates, discount rates and other variables. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect assessment of our purchase price allocations, which could impact the amount of our reported net income.

Investment in Direct Financing Leases

 

We evaluate the leases associated with our real estate properties in accordance with SFAS No. 13, “Accounting for Leases” (“SFAS 13”). For the real estate property leases classified as direct financing leases, we account for the building portion of the property leases as direct financing leases and the land portion of these leases as operating leases. For the direct financing leases, we record an asset (net investment) representing the aggregate future minimum lease payments, estimated residual value of the leased property and deferred incremental direct costs less unearned income. We recognize income over the life of the lease to approximate a level rate of return on the net investment. We value residual values, which are reviewed quarterly, as estimated amounts we expect to receive at lease termination from the disposition of leased property. Actual residual values realized could differ from these estimates. We recognize write-downs of estimated residual value as permanent impairments in the current period.

 

Investment in Mortgage Notes Receivable

 

Mortgage notes receivable consist of loans we acquired, which are secured by real estate properties. Mortgage notes receivable are recorded at stated principal amounts net of any discount or premium or deferred loan origination costs or fees. The related discounts or premiums on mortgage notes receivable purchased are amortized or accreted over the life of the related mortgage receivable. We defer certain loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain origination costs, and amortize them as an adjustment of the mortgage notes receivable’s yield over the term of the related mortgage receivable. We evaluate the collectibility of both interest and principal on each mortgage note receivable to determine whether it is impaired. A mortgage note receivable is considered to be impaired, when based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a mortgage note receivable is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the mortgage note receivable’s effective interest rate or to the value of the underlying collateral if the mortgage note receivable is collateralized. Interest income on performing mortgage note receivable is accrued as earned. Interest income on impaired mortgage notes receivable is recognized on a cash basis. No impairment losses were recorded related to mortgage notes receivable for either of the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Upon the acquisition of real estate, certain properties have leases where minimum rent payments increase during the term of the lease. We record rental revenue for the full term of each lease on a straight-line basis. When we acquire a property, the term of existing leases is considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation. We defer the recognition of contingent rental income, such as percentage rents, until the specific target that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved. Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are included in rental income in the period the related costs are incurred.

 

Income Taxes

 

We are taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. We generally will not be subject to federal corporate income tax to the extent we distribute our REIT taxable income to our stockholders, and so long as we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of other organizational and operational requirements. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

 

Results of Operations

 

We commenced our principal operations on September 23, 2005, when we issued the initial 486,000 shares of our common stock in our initial public offering. Prior to such date, we were considered a development stage company. We acquired our first real estate property on September 26, 2005.

 

 

Year Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2006

 

As of December 31, 2007, we owned 333 commercial properties, of which approximately 99% of the rentable space was leased, compared to 91 commercial properties at December 31, 2006. We also owned a portfolio of 69 mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 2007. We had no mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 2006. Accordingly, our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2006, reflect significant increases in all categories.

 

Revenue. Revenue increased approximately $70.3 million, or approximately 360%, to approximately $89.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. Our revenue primarily consists of rental income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for approximately 92% and 94% of total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

10

 


Rental income increased approximately $64.1 million, or approximately 349%, to approximately $82.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 242 new properties during the year ended December 31, 2007 and the ownership of the 77 properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2006 for the full year in 2007. During the year ended December 31, 2007, we acquired 242 additional properties for which we pay certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by the tenant, which resulted in approximately $5.2 million of tenant reimbursement income in 2007 compared to approximately $1.2 million in 2006.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we acquired 13 properties that we accounted for as direct financing leases. We had no properties accounted for as direct financing leases at December 31, 2006. Earned income from direct financing leases was approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, with no earned income from direct financing leases recorded for year ended December 31, 2006. See Note 3 to our consolidated audited financial statements accompanying our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

Interest income on mortgages receivable was approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, with no mortgages receivable interest income recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006. We purchased approximately $87.4 million of mortgage notes receivable during the year ended December 31, 2007. We had no mortgage notes receivable at December 31, 2006. See Note 6 to our consolidated audited financial statements accompanying our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $1.0 million, or approximately 111%, to approximately $2.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $953,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to increases in state franchise and income taxes due to the increase in the number of properties owned from 91 properties at December 31, 2006 to 333 properties at December 31, 2007. The primary general and administrative expense items are legal and accounting fees, state franchise and income taxes, organizational costs, and other licenses and fees.

 

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses increased approximately $5.1 million, or approximately 356%, to approximately $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the ownership of more properties during the year ended December 31, 2007 than in the year ended December 31, 2006, for which we initially pay certain operating expenses and are reimbursed by the tenant in accordance with the respective lease agreements, including 10 additional multi-tenant shopping centers. At December 31, 2007, we owned 14 multi-tenant shopping centers compared to four at December 31, 2006. The primary property operating expense items are repairs and maintenance, property taxes, bad debt expense and insurance.

 

Property and Asset Management Fees. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with our advisor, we are required to pay to our advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to one-twelfth of 0.25% of the aggregate asset value of our properties determined in accordance with the advisory agreement as of the last day of the preceding month. Pursuant to the property management agreement with our affiliated property manager, during the year ended December 31, 2007, we paid to our property manager a property management and leasing fee in an amount equal to 2% of gross revenues. In accordance with the property management agreement, we may pay Cole Realty Advisors (i) up to 2% of gross revenues from our single-tenant properties and (ii) up to 4% of gross revenues from our multi-tenant properties, as determined pursuant to the agreement, less all payments to third-party management subcontractors.

 

Property and asset management fees increased approximately $3.2 million, or approximately 347%, to approximately $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $937,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Property management fees increased approximately $1.2 million to approximately $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $350,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in property management fees was primarily due to an increase in rental income to approximately $82.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, from approximately $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, due to the acquisition of 242 new properties during the year ended December 31, 2007. Asset management fees increased approximately $2.0 million to approximately $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $587,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in asset management fees was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate book value of properties owned to approximately $1.2 billion during the year ended December 31, 2007 from approximately $272.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in aggregate book value is due to the acquisition of 242 new properties during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased approximately $24.0 million, or approximately 371%, to approximately $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate book value of properties owned to approximately $1.2 billion at December 31, 2007 from approximately $272.5 million at December 31, 2006. The increase in aggregate book value was primarily due to the acquisition of 242 new properties during the year ended December 31, 2007

 

Impairment of Real Estate Assets. Impairment on real estate assets was approximately $5.4 million for the year ended December

31, 2007, with no impairment loss recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006. The impairment was due to impairment losses recorded on one property during the year ended December 31, 2007, as discussed in Note 2 to our consolidated audited financial statements beginning on page F-1.

 

Interest and Other Income. Interest and other income increased approximately $1.8 million, or approximately 349%, to approximately $2.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $503,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. Interest income increased approximately $1.3 million, or approximately 253%, to approximately $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $503,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to higher uninvested cash during the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to the year ended December 31, 2006 due to increased proceeds from our initial public offering and follow-on offering. Cash and cash equivalents was approximately $43.5 million at December 31, 2007 compared to approximately $37.6 million at December 31, 2006. Other income consists of the net gain on disposal of rate locks of approximately $478,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. On August 10, 2007, we elected to terminate our rate lock agreements, as discussed in Note 9 to our consolidated audited financial statements beginning on page F-1.No other income was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $30.2 million, or approximately 339%, to approximately $39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to approximately $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average mortgage notes payable outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2007 to approximately $637.0 million from approximately $142.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase in average mortgage notes payable was due to our acquisition of 105 new debt agreements during the year ended December 31, 2007.

 

Our property acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2007, were financed in part with short-term and long-term notes payable as discussed in Note 6 to our consolidated audited financial statements beginning on page F-1. We expect that our interest expense in future periods will vary based on our level of future borrowings, which will depend on the level of proceeds raised in our follow-on offering, the cost of our borrowings, and the opportunity to acquire real estate assets that meet our investment objectives.

 

 

Year Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to the Year Ended December 31, 2005

 

As of December 31, 2006, we owned 91 commercial properties compared to 14 commercial properties at December 31, 2005, all of which were 100% leased. Accordingly, our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2006 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2005 reflect significant increases in all categories.

 

Revenue. Rental income increased approximately $17.6 million, or approximately 2,375%, to approximately $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to approximately $742,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to our acquisition of 77 new properties during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the recording of rental income for the 14 properties acquired during 2005 for 12 months during the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to three months, or less, during the year ended December 31, 2005. Our revenue primarily consists of rental income from net leased commercial properties, which accounted for approximately 94% and approximately 100% of total revenues during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. During 2006, we acquired certain properties for which we pay certain operating expenses subject to reimbursement by the tenant, which resulted in approximately $1.2 million of tenant reimbursement income for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to no amounts for the year ended December 31, 2005.

 

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased approximately $797,000, or approximately 510%, to approximately $953,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to approximately $156,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to increases in legal and accounting fees, primarily due to our increase in assets and operations and a full year of Securities and Exchange Commission reporting obligations in the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to six months in the year ended December 31, 2005, and increases in state franchise and income taxes due to the increase in the number of properties owned from 14 properties at December 31, 2005 to 91 properties at December 31, 2006. The primary general and administrative expense items are legal and accounting fees, organizational costs, state franchise and income taxes, and other licenses and fees.

 

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses were approximately $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, with no property operating expenses recorded for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of certain properties subsequent to December 31, 2005, for which we initially paid certain operating expenses and are reimbursed by the tenant in accordance with the respective lease agreements. At December 31, 2005, our portfolio consisted solely of properties in which each tenant paid substantially all expenses directly. The primary property operating expense items are repairs and maintenance, property taxes, and insurance.

 

Property and Asset Management Fees. Pursuant to the advisory agreement with our advisor, we are required to pay to our advisor a monthly asset management fee equal to 1/12 of 0.25% of the aggregate asset value of our properties determined in accordance with the advisory agreement as of the last day of the preceding month. Pursuant to the property management agreement with our advisor,

 

12

 


we are required to pay to our advisor a property management and leasing fee in an amount equal to 2.0% of gross revenues for determined pursuant to the agreement, less all payments to third-party management subcontractors.

 

Property and asset management fees increased approximately $898,000, or approximately 2,317% to approximately $937,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to approximately $39,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Property management fees increased approximately $336,000 to approximately $350,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $14,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in property management fees was primarily due to an increase in rental income to approximately $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $742,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. Asset management fees increased approximately $562,000 to approximately $587,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 from approximately $25,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in asset management fees was primarily due to an increase in the aggregate book value of properties owned to approximately $272.5 million at December 31, 2006 from approximately $45.8 million at December 31, 2005.

 

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased approximately $6.3 million, or approximately 2,822%, to approximately $6.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to approximately $221,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average aggregate book value of properties owned to approximately $272.5 million at December 31, 2006 from approximately $45.8 million at December 31, 2005 and the recording of depreciation and amortization for 12 months during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to three months during the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in aggregate book value is due to the acquisition of 77 new properties during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the ownership of the 14 properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2005 for a full year in the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Interest and Other Income. Interest income increased approximately $475,000, or approximately 1,727%, to approximately $503,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to approximately $28,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to having higher uninvested cash throughout the year due to proceeds from our initial public offering. Cash and cash equivalents was approximately $37.6 million at December 31, 2006 compared to approximately $4.6 million at December 31, 2005.

 

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased approximately $8.4 million, or approximately 1,804%, to approximately $8.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to approximately $467,000 for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average mortgage notes payable outstanding during 2006 to approximately $142.5 million from approximately $33.4 million during 2005 and the recording of interest expense for 12 months during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to four months during the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in average mortgage notes payable was primarily due to the acquisition of 77 new properties during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the ownership of the 14 properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2005 for a full year in the year ended December 31, 2006.

Mortgage Notes Receivable Portfolio

 

During the year ended December 31, 2007, we acquired two portfolios of mortgage notes receivable for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $87.4 million consisting of 69 mortgage notes receivable, secured by 23 restaurant properties leased to Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, 20 restaurant properties leased to KFC, and 26 retail properties leased to O’Reilly Auto Parts.

 

Funds From Operations

 

We believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) is a beneficial indicator of the performance of a REIT. Because FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales or impairment of operating real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Our management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictability over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

 

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and does not represent net income as defined by GAAP. Net income as defined by GAAP is the most relevant measure in determining our operating performance because FFO includes adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Accordingly, FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance.

Set forth below is additional information (often considered in conjunction with FFO) that may be helpful in assessing our operating results:

 

 

• 

In order to recognize revenues on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases, we recognized additional revenue by straight-lining rental revenue of approximately $4.4 million, approximately $790,000, and approximately $34,000 during the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

 

 

 

• 

Net income includes a net gain on disposal of rate lock of approximately $478,000 for the year ended December 31, 2007. No gain on disposal of rate lock was recorded for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. See Note 9 to our consolidated audited financial statements accompanying our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

 

 

• 

Amortization of deferred financing costs totaled approximately $1.9 million, approximately $548,000 and approximately $18,000 during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We expect to continue to raise capital through the sale of our common stock and to utilize the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock and proceeds from secured or unsecured financings to complete future property acquisitions. As of December 31, 2007, we had received and accepted subscriptions for 93,828,038 shares of common stock in our initial public offering and follow-on offering for gross proceeds of approximately $936.5 million.

 

 

Short-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by property operations and proceeds from the Offering, as well as, secured or unsecured borrowings from banks and other lenders to finance our expected future acquisitions. In addition, we may obtain a secured or unsecured revolving line of credit. We expect our operating cash flows to increase as additional properties are added to our portfolio. We expect that approximately 88.6% of the gross proceeds from the sale of our common stock will be invested in real estate, approximately 9.2% will be used to pay sales commissions, dealer manager fees and offering and organizational costs, with the remaining 2.2% used to pay acquisition and advisory fees and acquisition expenses. Our advisor pays the offering and organizational costs associated with the sale of our common stock, which we reimburse up to 1.5% of the capital raised by us in connection with our offering of shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2007, Cole Advisors II had paid approximately $8.4 million of offering and organization costs since the inception of our initial public offering and we had reimbursed our advisor for all such costs, of which approximately $59,000 was expensed as organizational costs.

 

During the period from January 1, 2008 to March 31, 2008, we completed the acquisition of 41 single-tenant properties and two multi-tenant properties in separate transactions for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $261.0 million, exclusive of closing costs. The acquisitions were funded with proceeds from our initial public offering and follow-on offering and approximately $144.9 million in aggregate proceeds from six loans.

 

On January 8, 2008, our board of directors declared a daily distribution of $0.00191781 per share for stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on March 31, 2008. The distributions for the period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on January 31, 2008 were paid in February 2008 and totaled approximately $5.8 million, of which approximately $3.2 million was reinvested in shares through our distribution reinvestment program. The distributions for the period commencing on February 1, 2008 and ending on February 29, 2008 were paid in March 2008 and totaled approximately $5.8 million, of which approximately $3.2 million was reinvested in shares through our distribution reinvestment program.

 

15

 


 

 

 

Long-term Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through proceeds from the sale of our common stock, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks and other lenders, the selective and strategic sale of properties and net cash flows from operations. We expect that our primary uses of capital will be for property acquisitions, for the payment of tenant improvements, for the payment of offering-related costs, for the payment of operating expenses, including interest expense on any outstanding indebtedness, and for the payment of distributions to our stockholders.

 

We expect that substantially all net cash generated from operations will be used to pay distributions to our stockholders after certain capital expenditures, including tenant improvements and leasing commissions, are paid at the properties; however, we may use other sources to fund distributions as necessary. To the extent that cash flows from operations are lower due to fewer properties being acquired or lower returns on the properties, distributions paid to our stockholders may be lower. We expect that substantially all net cash resulting from equity or debt financing will be used to fund acquisitions, certain capital expenditures identified at acquisition, repayments of outstanding debt, or distributions to our stockholders.

 

As of December 31, 2007, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $43.5 million, which we expect to be used primarily to invest in additional real estate, pay operating expenses and pay stockholder distributions.

 

As of December 31, 2007, we had approximately $1.1 billion of debt outstanding, consisting of approximately $940.9 million in fixed rate, term mortgage loans, approximately $43.5 million in variable rate term mortgage loans, and approximately $71.3 million in variable rate loans secured by our mortgage notes receivable. The weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2007, under the fixed rate term mortgage loans was approximately 5.85%, the variable rate term mortgage interest rate is stated at LIBOR plus 1.5% to 2.0%, and the variable rate loans secured by mortgage notes receivable interest rate is stated at LIBOR plus 2.0% to 2.75%. Additionally the ratio of debt to total gross assets was approximately 52% and the weighted average years to maturity was approximately 7.34 years.

Our charter prohibits us from incurring debt that would cause our borrowings to exceed the greater of 60% of our gross assets, valued at the greater of the aggregate cost (before depreciation and other non-cash reserves) or fair market value of all assets owned by us, unless approved by a majority of our independent directors and disclosed to our stockholders in our next quarterly report. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the independent directors approved borrowings that caused our leverage ratio at certain times to exceed the 60% limitation. The independent directors believed such borrowing levels were justified for the following reasons:

 

 

 

 

 

• 

the borrowings enabled us to purchase the properties and earn rental income more quickly;

 

 

 

• 

the property acquisitions were likely to increase the net offering proceeds from our initial public offering by allowing us to show potential investors actual acquisitions, thereby improving our ability to meet our goal of acquiring a diversified portfolio of properties to generate current income for investors and preserve investor capital; and

 

 

 

• 

based on expected equity sales at the time and scheduled maturities of our short-term variable rate debt, leverage was likely to exceed the charter’s guidelines only for a limited period of time.

Cash Flow Analysis

 

 

Year ended December 31, 2007 Compared to the Year ended December 31, 2006

 

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $35.5 million, or approximately 452%, to approximately $43.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $7.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2006. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net income of approximately $3.1 million, increases in depreciation and amortization expenses totaling approximately $24.5 million, an impairment of real estate assets of approximately $5.4 million and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $4.0 million, offset by an increase in rents and tenant receivables of approximately $3.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Net cash used in investing activities increased approximately $226.6 million, or approximately 242%, to approximately $320.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $93.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of 77 real estate properties during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to the acquisition of 14 properties during the year ended December 31, 2005, and an approximately $2.2 million increase in restricted cash, due to an increase cash held in escrow pending the issuance of shares to investors.

 

 

Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities increased approximately $247.7 million, or approximately 254%, to approximately $345.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $97.6

 

17

 


million for the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock in the Initial Offering of approximately $222.8 million and an increase in proceeds from the issuance of mortgage and affiliate notes of approximately $93.9 million, offset by an increase in repayments of mortgage and affiliate notes payable of approximately $63.5 million. The increase in proceeds from issuance of mortgage and affiliate notes payable was due to the issuance of 59 new mortgages during the year ended December 31, 2006 compared to nine new mortgages during the year ended December 31, 2005. The increase in repayments of mortgage and affiliate notes payable was due to the repayment of short-term variable rate debt at its maturity during the year ended December 31, 2006 and the repayment of approximately $4.5 million of affiliate notes payable during the year ended December 31, 2006.

 

Election as a REIT

 

We are taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will then be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income for four years following the year during which qualification is lost, unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. However, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. No provision for federal income taxes has been made in our accompanying consolidated financial statements. We are subject to certain state and local taxes related to the operations of properties in certain locations, which have been provided for in our accompanying financial statements.

 

Inflation

 

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to the relatively low inflation rate. However, in the event inflation does become a factor, the leases on the real estate we may acquire may not include provisions that would protect us from the impact of inflation.

 

Related-Party Transactions and Agreements

 

We have entered into agreements with Cole Advisors II and its affiliates, whereby we pay certain fees to, or reimburse certain expenses of, Cole Advisors II or its affiliates for acquisition and advisory fees and expenses, organization and offering costs, sales commissions, dealer manager fees, asset and property management fees and reimbursement of operating costs. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 for a discussion of the various related-party transactions, agreements and fees.

 

Conflicts of Interest

 

Affiliates of Cole Advisors II act as sponsor, general partner or advisor to various private real estate limited partnerships and a REIT that offered its shares pursuant to an exemption from registration. As such, there are conflicts of interest where Cole Advisors II or its affiliates, while serving in the capacity as sponsor, general partner or advisor for another Cole sponsored program, may be in competition with us in connection with property acquisitions, property dispositions, and property management. The compensation arrangements between affiliates of Cole Advisors II and these other Cole sponsored programs could influence its advice to us.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Certain events subsequent to December 31, 2007 through March 31, 2008, including the sale of shares of common stock, the acquisition of 43 properties and the attainment of additional mortgage financing are discussed in Note 18 to the consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K.

 

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Reference is made to Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements beginning on page F-1 regarding the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.

 

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of December 31, 2007 and 2006, we had no off balance sheet arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Cole Credit Property Trust II, Inc.

Phoenix, Arizona

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cole Credit Property Trust II, Inc. and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the index at Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
